B.L.Z. Bub:Annoyance: B.L.Z. Bub: I had to look up the reference. I found it. On Wikipedia. WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE BLACKED OUT.

Tsk tsk, Wikipedia. Pussing out, are we?

I'm guessing you have javascript disabled?

I appreciate the message being sent, but they're basically doing half a blackout. Sometimes the blackout shows up, sometimes not. And even when it shows up, if you know how to use your browser's developer tools you can get rid of it and make the page you want appear. It's pretty lame.

People who can do that are not the target audience for the black out. Those people already understand what is a stake. It's the people still asking me today what the hell SOPA is. It's people like my mom and dad who the blackout is trying to reach.

Also people biatching about the lame blackout...it is an insurmountable obstacle to 99% of people in the US. I understand you need to take any (ANY) opportunity to snort derisively at non-geeks, so...HUZAH!

I think the guy's just stringing Gawker along for shiats and giggles. If he had the goods he would've coughed them up already. If I had that video I'd already have screenshots of every frame, to serve as wallpaper.
